    Thought it was safe to go to the feed store. Need to file a complaint

    That's so funny! I stopped by TS today to get some chicken wire to finish up the coop I'm working on and left there with 11 baby chicks! They did have signs at the store I was at...Assorted Bantams. I think I have some Blue Cochin Bantams in my batch. They had all pullets the day before and...

    Hello from NC

    Hi folks, been hanging around here and decided to register so I could put up pictures of the first coop we are building. I had chickens when I was 11 years old, now I am forty! Have two kids, 8 and 10, who are very excited about the whole chicken thing. They were helping me today with nest...
